It used to be practice was too much for Allen Iverson. Now, games are.
AI was AWOL for his BIG3 league game on Sunday in Dallas. The player/coach failed to show and gave no reason.
The league issued a statement about Iverson’s absence via Twitter:

The 42-year-old Basketball Hall of Famer has played sparingly in three games, scoring six points and handing out four assists. Still, the iconic figure is a huge draw for the upstart summer league. More than 15,000 people showed up in Dallas on Sunday to see Iverson’s 3’s Company and seven other teams compete.
To the 15,000+ fans who came out to see the BIG3 today, a massive thank you! The Lone Star State showed us a great time. pic.twitter.com/nZYq7hEFRC

When the BIG3 came to Chicago a week ago, TMZ spotted Iverson at a nearby casino.
Iverson posted a video on social media mingling with Chicago fans at a hotel.
